Findprivatekey.exe or not....

I Was really frustrated today trying to find the tool Findprivatekey.exe. However there is no need, at least if you are running Windows 2008. In the certificate console you can just right click the certificate choose All Tasks and manage private keys... There... you can set the rights for the certificate now.

Choosing between Wordpress, Drupal and other CMS

I'm not a Unix nerd. I run my sites on Microsoft Windows 2008 with MSSQL database installed. But when it comes to CMS and Open Source, sad to say, Microsoft isn't there YET.

After struggling with Drupal for 4 days, following examples in books, configuring etc, Drupal did not do what I wanted it to. I run the software on a dedicated server with Windows 2008 and almost all examples, books and forums are for Unix nerds. I really like Unix, but I never got around to learning it so at the same time I hate it. So I had to drop the Drupal site because it was giving to much headace before I even got the site up.

In 4 hours I configured Wordpress for my needs, A few pages, a wiki and a forum. Then another day to fix adds, SEO and add some content and I'm up and running. Most of the time was spent on looking for a suitable theme. There are a lot of themes for Wordpress, not so for drupal.

What happens now is that I'm forced to alter PHP in the themes to get the layout working as I want it to. So in the end, I don't know what is best in the long run.

Summary: To get a site up and running quickly, good looking, Wordpress is the winner. If you like to fiddle around with technical issues, Drupal is for you. I wish there was something in between, lika a wordpress plugin for Drupal.

Anyway, I just wanted to share that since I didn't find much about this issue on the net.

Redirect 301 in IIS7 HTML

It took me a while to figure this one out, but it is really simple.

I moved a file on my site: http://www.luxuryspa.se/massage.html to http://www.luxuryspa.se/spa/massage.html.

Ooops... people had published links to the old adress and suddenly they'd get a 404 - File or directory not found Error. It showed up in Googles Webmaster Tools.

So I googled the problem and there was little advice on how to handle the problem with html-files on IIS. This is how you do it:

1. Create a file with the name you'd like to redirect from. In my case massage.html and save it in the old location (I just wrote "301 Redirect to http://www.luxuryspa.se/spa/massage.html" in the file so I know what it is)
2. Start the IIS Manager and go to the directory for your old location. Select the newly created file and right click it. Choose Switch to features view.
3. Now you can see the file to the left and it is selected. So go ahead and double click HTTP Redirect and fill out the form. For me: http://www.luxuryspa.se/spa/massage.html and status code 301.

That's it!
